DIOCESAN SYNOD July 2013 Parish Share Review

What’s the problem…?? Problem Collection Rates Renegotiations Complex Formula “Tax”; Unpopular Key Data not headlined

options… Ministry Costs Calculation O Parish Resources Calculation Parish Offering

A Way Forward: A Parish Offering system based on informed generosity

“Isn’t it risky to rely on generosity?” Generosity is a key Gospel virtue We can minimise it by using last year’s contribution as the base-line guide Growth-target is required of each offer Some already renegotiate their Share to a level they feel they can offer It will hopefully change the culture surrounding Parish Share

“Guided” Offering, where… A = Cost of Ministry and Central Support B = National Church Grant (where applicable) C = Last Year’s Contribution D = Help needed from other Parishes (A – B – C = D) …Please tell us what you can offer using C as minimum and reduction of D as aim.

Each line will encourage/inform: A : Real Costs B : National Support C : Performance last year D : Generosity of others in the Diocese

An Encouraging Request Letter “ABCD” Equation; Ministry/Support Costs itemised Net-Giving or Net-Receiving letter Addressed to the Benefice Individual long term circumstances noted (SSM/House for Duty, etc.)

Itemised Costs on Request Letter. For f/t incumbent: Incumbent’s Annual Stipend£23,270 National Insurance£ 1,805 Pension Contribution£ 8,314 Housing£11,370 Total f/t Minister Cost£44,759 Parish Central Support£12,898 Total Cost£57,657 This becomes “Item A” in the Guided Offering Tool

Onward Process 1. Field-test the Draft Letters across the Diocese 2. Iron out specifics e.g.: Long term Vacancies, rented Vicarages, Fee Income …However, this is detail because the model is neither a “Parish Resources Formula” nor a “Ministry Costs System”. We are asking for informed generosity.

Meanwhile… 2014: “steady as she goes…” Inflation-corrected figure based on current Share contribution Notification that a new system will be explained ready for 2015
